Today, I had to cancel all of the plans to go away on a romantic weekend with my boyfriend. My parents are going out of town for a night and I have to stay home a babysit my little sister. She's 19. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, instead of going to a romantic dinner with my boyfriend like I'd planned, I ended up babysitting his queasy little sister. FML
Today, it was supposed to be date night but my sister's husband was taken to hospital, so I agreed to to babysit my nieces. My boyfriend went out drinking by himself because, “it’s not his fault I have nieces and can’t say no to my sister, so why should his night be ruined?” FML
Today, my mom tried to force me to stay home from work to babysit my sister and her “boyfriend”. I snuck out and went to work anyway, because I hate being around them. FML
Today, to celebrate my older sister's 21st birthday, my parents forced me to take the night off work so we could all go to the casino. Not only is this coming out of my vacation, I wasn't old enough to enter the casino, so I had to sit in the car. FML
Today, my mom left me at home with a babysitter. I'm 17. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML
Today, it was our first kid-free weekend in almost two months, and I was hoping for a nice date night. Instead, she picked up two shifts at work and then had a girls' night. Don't worry, she assigned me a massive deep clean that ate up almost my entire weekend. FML
Today, my fiancé left to take care of his little sister who lives alone and recently got COVID-19. To be cautious, he will remain there for weeks until he tests negative. Feeling lonely, I texted my mom for comfort. She immediately canceled our engagement party this summer instead. FML
Today, my dad and stepmom insisted on having a babysitter stay with me while they go off on their 3-week vacation. I'm 22 and work full-time. FML
Today, I got a call from a girl I know, asking if I could babysit her little brother at my house tonight. I said yes. When the boy came over, he mentioned that his sister was having a party and didn't want him there. Turns out all my friends were invited except me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You're obviously an adult, since your little sister is 19. YDI for not just saying "no, I have plans." Don't blame others because you lack a spine.

if ur sister is an average 19 year old, then ur parents are bitches and yes...fyl however, if ur sister is special needs or there is a legitimate reason for u to babysit, then ur a bitch and ydi

I totally agree with you.

Why doesn't OP lie? Everyone is happy. The parents think their little girl is looked after, you get your romantic weekend and your sister actually gets to have fun for once. "Yeah, sure I'll look after her." - all you need to say, then just simply DON'T.

WTF??? she's expected to cancel her plans so her parents can go out?? **** that dude! it's not her daughter!! they should have found somebody else to babysit her!! that's just selfish

@112 yea but when parents have plans they expect you to drop everything ur doing and comply with their needs! it's bullshit! they should call grandma or someone else to babysit!! or simply not have had another kid if they can't learn to make sacrifices!! why does OP have to drop HER plans to babysit and not the parents?? **** that

35- WHAT THE ****? Are you trying to say FYL by saying "that's gay"? Do you think that's funny? What a fucktard. Something being "gay" is not equivalent to something that really sucks. If you think it is, I'd go back and ask the Wizard of Oz for a new brain. Yours clearly isn't working.

My best guess is that the sister is "special"?

Spoo- if the sister was special I highly doubt that the OP would have put focus on the fact that she's 19.

I agree with #5. learn to say no OP.
Solano2580 24
#5 did you ever think that maybe the little sister is the troublemaker in the family and can't be trusted to be by herself?

WTF. Who the hell babysits a 19 year old? She's an adult now. I'd so go on for the romantic weekend with my boyfriend, and tell my parents to find someone else that's crazy enough to agree on babysitting an adult.

maybe the sister is handicapped and has the mind of a 5 year old or sumthing? idunno wtf ever
picturescrazy 24
Exactly what she should have done! And everyone needs to stop assuming her sister is handicapped. She never said anything about it in the post, so it's not relevant. Stop overanalyzing it!
tamtam1 0
yes. but a 19 year old does not need babysitting. many 19 year olds live by themselves therefore they are assuming there's a reason.

And the reason would be she's 19, lives in Canada, and had the perfect opportunity to throw a sick party.

She might be horrendously irresponsible. Never know.

OP might have left out the part about her sister being handicapped so she could throw a pity party on FML, rite?
CarlosDanger 12
If her sister was handicapped than OP would have not put emphasis on her age.... This is basic logic.

YDI for not going on your outing with your bf anyways. Your sister can take care of herself, she's old enough.
